Which one? The first statement is true.

The first statement is false. Antisemitism is not a meaningless term. It has a dictionary definition, which I linked from Antisemitsm. You are not being intellectually honest in this discussion.

an·ti-Sem·i·tism (nt-sm-tzm, nt-) n.
1. Hostility toward or prejudice against Jews or Judaism.
2. Discrimination against Jews.

You may not like the definition. You may want to erase it from memory and history but even on this night of Purim, it and the Jews are still here. You will have to live with that.

I probably should *not* have said it was "meaningless"; but that it is BECOMING meaningless from overuse in inappropriate circumstances.

As it is, it is being overused and watered down, and is fast losing the horror of what it really was; as that happens, the meaning also becomes lost on those hearing it.

I do NOT want it erased from memory; I want it PRESERVED AND RESTORED to its full horrific meaning.

I thought that when you include the **not all Jews are Semites, and not all Semites are Jews**, you meant that needed to be answered also, and I took that as *the first statement*.
